I thank the witnesses for appearing before the committee. I just have three questions as quite a bit has already been covered on the moratorium on disconnections. My primary question relates to the outlook on energy prices. How far ahead we are hedging? What are the consequences and effect of that on energy prices? When will the next set of hedging contracts be undertaken or is it an ongoing thing?
